Damn impressive Brian. Where the f**k did that come from? They will wake your back up. Where do you have trouble in your pull? Not really at lock out anyway?

Thats mega weight to handle. Really is. Class.

Thanks Justin. Honestly i have no fucking clue lol. I wasnt even going to pull because i was pretty run down. Everything just felt good. Usually conv, i miss below the knee because my form off the floor is a mess. I usually come forward at this point and turn it into a SLDL... Just need more practice at it. Now if i could just convince them to start pulls knee high, id be in good shape haha

Weight felt a little heavy today. Form felt sketchy once I hit 2 brd area on the working sets. It felt like my shoulders were coming loose, but on the last set I had the crew watch me closely and they saw nothing. The weight is still fairly light to touch, so will see what happens once weight gets on the bar.

HJP, we do board 1 of 2 ways. The first is a touch and go. You bring the weight down, touch the board, and press back up. It's a strength movement.
The second, we let the bar free fall down, hit the board hard, and try to reverse it as fast as possible. This helps build more speed and power. When you touch and go, 315 is pretty much 315. When you "slam" 315 turns into about 500some pounds when you quickly try to reverse. Think physics. Make sense?

Do you get all three reps in one breath? I have been trying to. Good way to learn not to dick about and get it down fast!!

This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; the being a force of Nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy - George Bernard Shaw

We did these last week and broke the handle off our three board. I have repaired it now. I reckon its fucking bombproof.

What have psychics got to do with board pressing though?

sorry thats bad....

The physics of letting the bar freefall down means the bar wants to continue on it's downward path. (think the bar bending) When you try to reverse that weight, you're not only reversing the 315lbs of weight, but also the momentum. Just thought of this. Supposed you weight a baseball and it weighs 1lb. But when you throw the baseball at something it exerts more than 1lb of pressure because of the speed and momentum. That make sense?

Sorry Tone, I totally got what you explained. I asked what 'psychics' have to do with board pressing? I was just
messing.

Good accessory day. Nothng too heavy, but without a belt those GMs are a bit tough. Soooooo, ill be hitting a lot more lower back and ab work. No ab work tonite because I had a huge Mexican pigout dinner 2 hours before hitting the gym and was still stuffed. If I did ab work, id definately be revisiting that dinner. Do some tomorrow.

Word of the Day: MEXCELLANT (adj)- Work that is done as good as Mexicans. "Hey Tim Gale, mexcellant work on the jackhammer today!"

Lol love the word of the day! Fair enough avoiding ab work after that dinner

Thanks Nick. Its sounds like hes ok. Starts back with the team tomorrow, but no reasons given why he lost almost 40 lbs. He looked bad there for awhile. Watching the game now and the D is looking pretty bad so far against Pitt.
